Is it possible to build a '1935 Stock'?

[class387]

I had an idea of whether someone (LTM perhaps?) could try to convert a 1938 stock car into a replica of the streamlined 1935 stock trains, even if just for static display. They could use one of the Island Line 483s that seem like they will be available soon if they do not want to use one of their restored cars.

Any thoughts?

(For those unaware, the 1935 stock was a streamlined prototype of the 1938 stock. After the war all of the streamlined cars were converted into trailers and no vehicles of the iconic design remain.)

I doubt the plans still even exist, let alone money to do it.

Simplistically, is it a matter of 'only' changing the cabs, or are there other substantial differences as well?

With the shape I'd assume the driver's controls would be a round shape to fit with the cab.

As there are no thoughts to preserve an A atock I cannot see this happening.

DM car 5034 is in the LT Museum Depot collection Acton.

While that is sadly the case, LTM do like preserving individual cars of trains so one car of 1935 Stock may be possible.

The plans may exist, what happened to the Metro-Cammell archive? Won't happen unless a few rich enthusiasts decide to throw a few quid at it though
